Lyrics

I don't want this place This new life you found I don't want this sky I don't want this ground I don't want these cake Does all this pecan pie I don't want it I don't want it I don't want it Leah, just wait! I don't want this life Where I can't be me I don't want to change And I don't feel free I don't want to live Where I'm the one who's strange I don't want it I don't want it I don't want it Now damn it, Leah! Who taught you to speak this way? Look at you You have no cover for your head Look at you You don't eat kosher You eat Texas food instead And when the sun goes away I don't ever see you turn to pray Well, what difference does that make, Leah? What difference? You're a Jew I married a Jew So I'm still a Jew Did I change in the night? Did I grow a tail? I know that it's hard here, Leah It's impossible! No, it's not impossible So we don't keep kosher My head is uncovered I don't want to be strange either These people are our customers They buy, we eat Do you think that God will hate me for that? Why does he need for me to wear a little piece of cloth on my head? In 20 years I'll wear a toupee, he'll be happy My God! Look at you To you is everything a joke? Look at you You're making changes Just to be like Texas folk And every day I can see How you're less like who you used to be Don't you remember who you are? You're a Jew I married a Jew So what do you suggest we do? You should be taking care of us Is everything just for you? Why don't you take care of us? Is that too much for you to do? Take me away Somewhere, anywhere Take me away Maybe New York, I don't care I want to see in the eyes staring back at me Some of myself Some of myself I'm such a stranger here And where do we run from New York, hmm? And from the next place, where do we run? Then there is no place for us Leah, here is our place! I'm not going to run again! No more running! Even a coward has to stop and say, " Our place is here, that's the end!" Yes? What is left for us? What am I to do? I can't make a joke I can't be like you Give me back the old I'll never want what's new If being a Jew means owning two candlestick Then I don't want it I don't want it I don't want the baby And I don't want you!
